From Walpole to London: Olympic Work Begins!
This blog is written by Walpole native Chris Lotsbom, a college student who is interning with NBC in London at the Summer Olympic Games. Chris will be checking-in with Walpole Patch periodically to share his experiences at the Games.

Due to time constraints, only a short blog today. I figured I would shake things up a bit and give you three fun highlights from the day.
One -- I have started my Olympic pin collection! As is Olympic tradition, many fans, athletes, media, and volunteers trade pins in the Olympic Park. Currently I have three pins: a neat London 2012 numeral logo in the form of a Union flag, an NBC London Olympics logo, and a limited edition International Broadcasting Centre pin only given to those working in the IBC.
Two -- Meeting new people and seeing familiar friends! I began my work as a logger for NBC today, joinging three other interns who will be working in track and field. Adam (Univ. of Tampa), Liz (Syracuse Univ.), and Erin (Ithaca College!) are all awesome. I also got to see and eat dinner with David and Jane Monti, my editors at Race Results Weekly. It was great seeing both for the first time at the Games.

Three -- Walking to the olympic Stadium. Though I walked through Olympic Park yesterday, it was just as fun and cool today. I still can't get over the amazing venues; the Olympic Stadium baffles me with its beauty. The people, with flags from all across the world draped over their shoulders, are all in a joyous mood.
More fun stuff to come when time allows. Til then, all the best. Cheers!
